Vivian Stanshall - opening song from 'Crank'

[1nceBitten2wiceShy]

I'll bet he stole his look from that guy who played Vyvian on the Young Ones... -- 1b2s

(Hey! Waitaminnit! Seriously, it took me til I typed that to realize that Ade Edmonson went from being "Vyvian" to "being" Vivian! What's next -- will Syd Straw start playing bass in the Sex Pistols?)

This Man Is A Good For SIng This Song!!

[Lupusnocens]

Fantastic. Does anyone know if this track was ever recorded for an album?

[ArthurGoodlad]

It's the real thing with Viv here. Such a desperate need to get it all out of his system. The result is fantastic.

I've got the full thing on video somewhere, it was originally on BBC2, whatever arts prog they were running at the time, wonderfully entertaining, what a duller world it would be without the likes of Viv. Does anyone kow if that's Susie Honeyman on the fiddle so to speak?

[slacknhash]

I think it is. She was mentioned in Ginger Geezer as taking part in the project around that time...

[pressgangers]

it was first shown on the Late show on bbc2 , Then when viv died they got John peel to make a small obituary to viv live and showed it again

[JayMaySayHey]

That's Susie on violin all right. She was with Viv for 12 years, recording and performing, until his untimely and sad death.

[Victoriangent]

Please put the whole of this thing on . By far my favorite Englishman .

I have Henry at Rawlison's End on my Ipod , don't suppose anyone has the film ? Now I'd give my Gout Ridden Feet to see that .

Don't know if you're aware but the film was released on DVD last year around Christmas.
